Thawing Out
After a couple of weeks of below freezing temperatures and plenty of snow, the high today in the Denver area was in or around the 50s.
I have a love-hate relationship with winter in that I enjoy the way the snow looks and makes everything else look; and in this case, when snow melts and cool things like this happen. The other side of that coin is I have to deal with the cold, wind, driving, other drivers and so on.
One of my goals for this year (rather than resolution) is to try to be more positive in all aspects of my life. In doing so, I think coming to terms with the better side of winter falls into that category.
Day 5. Looking at the positive.

The phenomenon is best seen when the freezing temperatures come before the rain has had time to drain off and evaporate significantly.

In the freezing temperatures and bright sunlight the warm bodies of these massed sheep made for some interesting evaporation and an opportunity to shoot into the light for a change. The Swaledale sheep in the picture are an iconic feature of the Yorkshire Dales.

On this excursion to the home of the Saami people, the boys had the ultimate immersion experience. With below-freezing temperatures and 21-hour nights, surrounded by a truly new language and a beautiful alien world, they experienced true Lappish life and built an understanding of what global citizenry is all about.
When temperatures drop below freezing, local almond growers run sprinklers in their orchards overnight to help offset damage to the setting crop or young trees. The water and air circulation help raise the orchard temperature. The insulation of ice also warms the buds and surprisingly helps protect them.

After a very painful night in freezing temperatures, the day finally dawns at Base Camp. The time has finally come for Akshay to head back. He is still coughing blood, but it has reduced and he is feeling slightly better. It is a tough time for both of us.
The decision for him was anything but an easy one. After traveling across half the world, flying to the remote town of Leh, and then trekking at an altitude of 4500m+ for more than 100 kilometers finally to come to base camp, and with the summit in sight, it was probably more painful for Akshay to have to descend than the pain itself.
There is an old saying in mountaineering - "The mountain is forever, but we are mere mortals." Akshay's summit attempt will have to wait until next year. It was a very wise choice in very difficult circumstances.
We hug each other. I wish him all the best for the long trek back to Stok Village (at 11,500 feet). He wishes me all the best for the summit attempt and cautions me many times about staying safe. I have to spend 3 more days at base camp and attempt the summit if everything is OK. "I will turn back if I have to", I say.
Picking up his hiking poles, accompanied by our mountaineering guide (Kamal), Akshay starts climbing down into the valley below. I see him and Kamal slowly disappear below base camp. Kamal will leave Akshay at Stok Village and hike back to Base Camp to summit with me.
I am at base camp now, with our cook, Surendar, from Nepal. I have to mentally prepare to go still higher, to Advanced Base Camp (ABC) to acclimatize.

After several weeks with snow and freezing temperatures the weather changed and the snow is melting fast, the good thing about that is that Emil found a very nice piece of wood today that had been burried under the snow, so today was a good day. After around an hour the fun stopped since the stick was reduced to small pieces from all the chewing and running around with it!
Same plant showing different colored blooms. The pinker flower opened under full sun and cold (to freezing) temperatures while the white one bloomed under lights inside. Climate definitely plays a role in bloom color.
First time I've seen the Jetty take a full load from the sea, the water was rough and stormy today with freezing temperatures , though I enjoyed the scenery, pity it was so overcast .
Abercrombie's Jetty
A small catch pier which extends into the entrance of Aberdeen Harbour from the North Breakwater, immediately to the east of The Roundhouse, Abercrombie's Jetty was built in 1789 to prevent a swell from the east entering the harbour. It was named after John Abercrombie (1729 - 1820), a stocking manufacturer who became Lord Provost of Aberdeen in 1787.
Abercrombie's name is recorded on a carved stone embedded within the jetty. However, lying across the harbour entrance, it proved a danger to shipping and was reduced in size to what remains today. Owing to its shape, it is known locally as 'the horseshoe'.
The 'catch pier' at Aberdeen Harbour is a low-level projection attached to John Smeaton's North Pier. Also known as Abercrombie's Jetty, the catch pier was built to combat the increased wave action upstream in the River Dee that resulted from the earlier construction of the North Pier. However, the jetty became an obstruction to harbour expansion and was reduced in size in the 19th century.
JOHN SMEATON (1724-1792), one of the first people to describe himself as a civil engineer, was commissioned to improve the harbour at Aberdeen. He began by designing a 366m long pier (the first section of North Pier) on the northern side of the river mouth, which was constructed between January 1775 and October 1780. The scheme was intended to mitigate the effects of a sand bar that was hampering harbour access and usage.
Smeaton revisited Aberdeen Harbour in October 1787, and saw that his pier had increased the depth of water over the sand bar at high tide by 1.1m. The corollary to this success was increased wave action in the river upstream under easterly winds, which tended to propagate swell waves inside the harbour. Possibly this was the result of not following Smeaton’s plans accurately, and siting the pier a little too far to the north.
His report of 22nd March 1788 proposed ameliorating the situation by constructing a low-level catch pier about 100m east of the landward end of the North Pier. It would project 51.2m into the channel, and be set at an angle pointing towards the harbour in a south westerly direction.
The crest of the pier was a little above high water spring tides. Of characteristic Smeaton trapezoidal section, with horizontally coursed stone block faces and a core of sloping stones, the structure (as designed) was approximately 65m long. The body of the pier was 7.3m wide at the top and 9.1m wide at the base. It was much wider at its junction with the North Pier and terminated in a round pier head 12.2m in diameter.
A marker stone inscribed J ABERCROMBIE PROVOST 1789 is located on the west side of the root of the catch pier. It is presumed that the stone was laid by John Abercrombie (1729-1820), a stocking manufacturer who became Lord Provost of Aberdeen in 1787, during construction. The pier was known thereafter as Abercrombie's Jetty.
The work was undertaken by local mason Alexander Gildavie, working on a 'cost plus' contract, with Smeaton as supervising engineer. The total cost for the catch pier and some rebuilding work to the harbour's South Pier was about £1,500.
As the harbour became busier, and more improvements were carried out, the catch pier became an obstruction to shipping and dredging. Between July 1810 and September 1833, probably in 1820, its south end was removed and Abercrombie’s Jetty was reduced to a stub some 18m long. The demolition work cost £123.
A capstan was installed on the truncated jetty to help haul in sailing ships that could not make headway against westerly winds.
By the 1920s, the jetty had been equipped with a fully curved return to the south east, pointing out to sea, which is known locally as The Horseshoe. The remodelled jetty now measures some 38m in length along the centreline.

instead we had around 14 °C today!
With 3"-5" inches of snow and freezing temperatures in New Orleans making the news right now I thought it would be a good time to post these old photos
They were all taken by me at age 13 while on a spring break trip with my family to New Orleans while in middle school. My trusty Kodak Hawkeye Instamatic camera was used once again. We took Amtrak down from Chicago but fortunately flew back home as the train ride down in coach was LONG and grueling while battling a cold.
My railfan father and I wanted to catch the New Orleans streetcars as at the time they were some of the last survivors in the country and before the revival of streetcars and light rail that was still in the future.
Cleaned up as much as possible using Photoshop Elements. Found in old sleeves of prints.
